Notes

Another one.

Trying the new minor version.

[W]hen The Wall Street Journal refused to abide by Google’s formatting terms, Google removed it from its search ranks and the newspaper’s traffic dropped by 44 percent.

Imagine having to find out about actually important things on a platform other than Twitter.

Note to self: one day, give self-hosted Plausible a try. (Not necessarily on this site.)

Another advantage of using Nitter over Twitter: outgoing links are actual outgoing links. There’s no forced URL shortener—yet another tracking mechanism—and saving links to a read-it-later app … just works!

Feels ironic to be bookmarking this, on my site. That said, there’s a reason I’ve created separate feeds for separate post types, and I do try to stay off the mainstream social networks.

I implemented support for bookmarks and likes and replies because these are commonplace on the IndieWeb. I understand why. Many people still use social media and use their website as a method of syndication. This is not me. I left social media [earlier this year].

This way of sharing (properly curated) bookmarks probably is the way to go. ’Til I have time, though, I’m going to have to do it the quick (and dirty) way.

I like [Ana Rodriguez’] approach to bookmarks. She writes one post every month with all of the articles she has bookmarked.
